Chapter 177

As soon as he saw Mu Yunge, Shopkeeper Xu smiled beamingly and said, "Missy is really smart, just now the younger one came over with the clothes, and along the way, many maids inquired, asking if this dress is the new style of Jinxiuzhuang, When will it be on the market, can I book in advance!"

"What do you say?" Everything was expected, Mu Yunge smiled lightly.

"The little one is not talented. I guessed in private that the eldest lady asked the little one to come here with something. This is why she wanted it. When someone asked about it on the way here just now, they replied that they are the new style of Jinxiuzhuang. They will be put on the shelves in a few days." Shopkeeper Xu carefully speculated on her thoughts, and then said: "The young one has already taken around twenty orders without the permission of the eldest lady."

Mu Yunge nodded: "After tomorrow, there must be more orders. Shopkeeper Xu is busy."

"Tomorrow? Why?" Shopkeeper Xu couldn't figure it out, but after this incident, he had more confidence in Mu Yunge, so he didn't ask too many questions, and tomorrow will naturally come to a conclusion, so he bowed his hands and withdrew: "Since Miss is so Say, the little one has already made preparations!"

After sending shopkeeper Xu away, Pei Xin put away the clothes. The clothes were so beautiful, she couldn't help touching them again and again: "Miss, I will accompany Madam to the grave tomorrow, can you wear this outfit?"

"If it wasn't for going to the grave, why would you choose white cloth?" Seeing her stupid look, Mu Yunge couldn't help laughing: "Pei Xin likes it, I'll ask shopkeeper Xu to make a few more, and let's listen to Feng Zhuli's clothes." Everyone has a set, do you think it’s okay? Just in time, I haven’t bought any clothes for you this spring.”

According to the rules of the Mu family, the girls can also change into new clothes when the seasons change and festivals. This year is busy, so I haven't had time to do this.

Peixin and Peiying were very happy, Peixin ran out, and not long after, all the girls who listened to Fengzhu heard about it, and came in happily to thank each other.

Mu Yunge told Peiying to go to Jinxiuzhuang, order clothes according to the head of Tingfengzhuli, and after the girls thanked her, she left another person alone, and said with a kind smile: "Dongqing, you have come now." After listening to Fengzhu, I have to change my name. The girls in my yard all start with the word Pei, so you will be called Peiqing from now on, right?"

Ever since Dongqing came out to testify against Shen Jingyu's murder and Aunt Xiao committed suicide, Dongqing couldn't stay in the Plum Appreciation Court, so Mu Yunge took the opportunity to transfer her from the Plum Appreciation Court.

Pei Qing thanked her, and she said: "There are three big girls in my yard, Peixin, Peiying, and Peilian, and there is still a place for a big girl. I really care about you, but most of the girls in the yard I don’t know you, I’m afraid that you will become a big girl as soon as you come, and you will inevitably fail to convince everyone, I want you to start as a second-class girl first, are you willing?”

Pei Qing said happily: "Pei Qing is willing!"

"You learn the rules from Peixin and Peiying first, take a good rest these few days, and come back to serve after two days." Mu Yunge said softly: "Madam Shen's matter may have frightened you."

At that time, Pei Qing was the closest to Aunt Xiao, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale. According to Pei Yun, the little girl who lived with her, Pei Qing always had nightmares at night.

Pei Qing was very moved, thanked her on her knees, and bowed to leave.

"Is this little girl the one who came out to testify against Miss Shen that day?" Just as Pei Qing stepped back, Wei Shi's voice sounded by the window curtain.

Mu Yunge raised his head, and when he saw Wei Shi walking over from the window, he sat down straight away.

"Well, it's her." Mu Yunge didn't want to talk about Pei Qing's matter, so he skipped it after answering a sentence, and asked instead: "Is everything settled? What about the things, have they been delivered to Mrs. Chen?"

"Must." Wei Shi looked at Pei Qing a few more times before turning his head and chuckling: "Although Marquis Anbo has always lived in Jinling, his position in the court is very important. Mrs. Chen is the first-rank lady, and her banquet Even if you don’t make a big fuss, I’m afraid that high-ranking officials who come here will be indispensable. When the matter is exposed, the custodians will have nothing to do with it.”

"That's good." Mu Yunge nodded.

Wei Shi approached her, smiling maliciously: "I came early just now, but I saw that your shop gave you new clothes, so you don't plan to show me them?"

"Only children wear new clothes as soon as they get them." Mu Yunge rolled his eyes at him: "I'm fourteen."

"Yeah, I'm fourteen, and you can marry me next year!" It's okay if she didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Wei Shi became even more excited, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyebrows: "When the spring is warm next year and the flowers bloom, I will come to ask for it." marry."

Mu Yunge's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Wei Shi with a half-smile: "If you come to ask for marriage, I'll get ready to marry. However, fourth prince, His Royal Highness Yu Wang, are you sure you can decide your own marriage? You are the emperor's most beloved prince, and the enfeoffment of the prince is just around the corner. Your marriage is related to the country. The emperor will let you do it? The empress will let you do it? Don't talk about them, even the Pei family is afraid. Will you agree?"

"I can marry whoever I want." Wei Shi's eyes were filled with coldness, and a chill came to his face: "No one can arrange my life!"

It was rare for Mu Yunge to see him so serious, so he was slightly taken aback, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

As Wei Shi spoke, he suddenly held Mu Yunge's hand with a naughty smile, brought the back of her hand to his lips, and kissed: "Don't think about anything, just wait and be my only wife in this life." ! I have the ability to arrange everything and let you get on the sedan chair happily. Yun Ge, do you believe me?"

Mu Yunge's eyelids drooped, and for some reason, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably: "I don't know why, but I actually believe you!"

Wei Shi was overjoyed and couldn't help hugging her, feeling like he hugged the whole world...

The next day, Mu Yunge came back from the academy, changed his clothes, brought sacrificial things, and accompanied Xiao to the Mu family's ancestral grave outside Jinling City.

She is wearing custom-made clothes today, a light and plain white body, long skirt reaching the floor, and a pair of flower-knotted short jackets make her look even taller. for chic.With a white shawl of the same color, the whole person seems to come out of the painting.

As the weather got better, the heavy cotton-padded jacket was removed from the carriage and replaced with light gauze. Mu Yunge had the light gauze half-covered, revealing his attire, and passed through the city of Jinling Yiyiran.

The carriage left Jinling City, walked for more than ten miles along the official road, and then drove onto the country road.After bumping for half an hour, it finally stopped.

Mu Yunge got out of the car first, and helped Xiao out. Yushan, Yuxi, Peixin, and Peiying followed them, carrying incense candles and other things for going to the grave, and entered a cemetery along the path.

The Mu family lived in Jinling for generations, and there are at least a thousand ancestors buried in the ancestral graves. If it is really forbidden to sweep them one by one, the mother and daughter may be busy for more than half a month.Xiao ordered several ancestral graves that were close to his seniority, starting with Mu Zhizhao's grandparents to clean up the weeds on the graves.It is said that the tombs are green and the descendants are prosperous. After finishing the four tombs, Xiao specially ordered Yushan to sow some grass seeds on the tombs, plant two cypress trees next to Mu Zhe's grave, and plant some pine trees next to Mrs. Mu's grave. .

After finishing all this work, Yushan brought a thin cushion, and Xiao took Mu Yunge to kowtow to the ancestors.

"Mother, let's go home now. It's cold in the mountains. It's spring and the wind is still strong. It's not good to be cold." Mu Yunge helped Xiao to get up, and said softly.

Mrs. Xiao patted the back of her hand, and the mother and daughter walked slowly, but instead of going back to the city, they turned to a valley next to the Mu family's ancestral grave, less than ten feet away from the Mu family cemetery, where stood a Gufen wrote a letter: "Mu Zhe's concubine Gong's position".

"Mother, who is this?" Mu Yunge saw Grandpa's name, but she knew all of Grandpa's concubines, and there was no one named Gong. She felt very strange and asked, "What is written on the stele is Grandpa's concubine?" room, but since it is a concubine's room, how could it be buried in Mu's cemetery?"

According to the rules of the big family, concubines are not allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb, and the spiritual seat is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. It really doesn't make sense for this tomb to be here, no wonder Mu Yunge couldn't figure it out.

Mrs. Xiao glanced at her meaningfully, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, she raised her hand and wiped it gently with a handkerchief, her tone was a little choked up: "It's not considered to be in the Mu family's cemetery, after all, it's still a little far away. Yes. As for who she is... Hey, it's not easy for us as descendants to ask so many questions about the old people. Yun Ge just needs to remember that this Grandma Gong has been kind to the Mu family and is a person worthy of respect. Good boy, mother is a bit tired, go and clean up the weeds on the grave, and then hang up the white flag. The flag needs to be hung 64, be careful not to damage it."

Mu Yunge complied, and walked to the grave in person according to her instructions, first lit three sticks of incense, placed offerings, took the small sickle from Pei Xin, and began to clean the weeds on the grave.

I don't know how many years this grave is, the weeds on the grave are extremely messy, almost reaching the mountain behind, if there is no inscription in front of the tomb, it may be difficult to find a grave here.

Mu Yunge lowered his eyes, suspicious.

Since she is a person who is kind to the Mu family, why didn't her parents bring her and Jinran to worship when they went to the grave last year?Furthermore, even if it was her parents, she hadn't come to sacrifice for many years, and the weeds on the grave had reached her waist. Based on her understanding of her parents, she would never treat her benefactor like this!
Holding back her curiosity, Mu Yunge tidied up the grave, hung up a white flag, and supported Xiao to kowtow.

But Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to kowtow, turned his head and smiled at Mu Yunge, and said, "It's been a while since I've rested, and it's still a bit cold, go get your mother's cloak from the car."

"Okay." Mu Yunge responded softly, and led Peixin back to the carriage.

Turning around the col, she stopped again, half-bowed and went back to the ancestral tomb, picked the place closest to Gong's tomb, squatted behind the tomb and listened carefully.

"Peiying, the dyed rice flowers on the mountain here are blooming just right. You can pick some with me and bring them back later. Miss likes to eat rice made from dyed rice flowers." As soon as she squatted down, she Listening to Yuxi smiled and took Peiying's arm, and pulled her to the nearby mountains.

Only Xiao and Yushan remained in front of Gong's grave.

Yushan put the cushion in front of the stele, and supported Xiao Shi to kneel down. Mu Yunge only saw Xiao Shi's back, her shoulders trembled slightly, obviously crying, and the handkerchief kept wiping the corners of her eyes, very sad appearance.Mu Yunge was very surprised, and was hesitating whether to get up to comfort her, when she heard Xiao choked up and said, "Today is the ten-year anniversary of your death..."

Off-topic: I have been fascinated by the Langya List recently, and I deeply feel my own shortcomings and the gap with the great gods. It seems that I have to work harder!But is there someone like me who is tortured to tears every time Mei Changsu and Nihuang have an emotional rivalry?
